<div>I spent the best part of a day debugging this type of scenario this week. I had a URL string in a container element and inserted that container element in to the Send Mail text. The mail contained the URL but with a missing & which then meant the browser did not interpret the URL parameters correctly.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My Sendmail text included -> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Link: &FormUrl##& <br> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>TO get it to output the correct Url string I did as Jocelyn suggests with the SAPScript escape characters, but not around the &'s, but around the entire string, (ie tell SAP the entire string is special)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>so I had in my sendmail text -></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Link: <(> &FormUrl##& <)></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
